So this is not a Little Drummer Boy post, because I have something else to share with you.
I have become involved with our local A & P Show. Helping to run the photography competition, and a few other things. I was also involved in helping with the signs to advertise it.
Today when coming home from Tauranga I saw the sign. My images up on a billboard for everyone to see.
I did a U turn and went back to take a photo…but not before I did a little HAPPY dance. Feeling ridiculously proud right now.
Every photo is one of mine.
Every one.
Just about bursting with happiness.
So of course I interrupted my scheduled posts to share this news with you.
I was born in the land of Banjo Paterson, gum trees, and weather extremes.
I am a freelance photographer. I love to make images that make people happy. To capture forever a precious moment.
I am also a freelance writer/editor.
I live in the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand, but still like to claim my Australian heritage.
I graduated with a Bachelor of Communications in 2008.
I am writing my first novel.
I love to write poetry, short stories, and also write for the web.
And there is nothing that is on a par with a sunny summer's day spent at Waihi Beach.

Wow, what an honour for your photography….no wonder you did a happy dance! Congratulations!
Your excitement is palpable. I can’t stop from jumping up and down too. Sorry. Can’t dance. C.o.n.g.r.a.t.u.l.a.t.i.o.n.s. 🙂 ❤
And…Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
We had such a lovely day when you took us to see the A&P show in Katikati – and you were SO proud that day, too – because you won first prize in the photo competition!
Do you remember the AMAZING horse trailer the man let us wander around? Very happy memories 🙂

That’s awesome Jo. Congratulations. I love A&P shows. Never been to the Katikati one — perhaps I’ll make it down there in Feb. Merry Christmas.
